The Masgutova Method® is a set of programs focused on the restoration and maturation of primary movements, reflexes, coordination systems, skills for optimal performance of natural mechanisms, developmental processes, brain functioning, and sensory-motor integration. The Masgutova Method® is oriented on the stimulation of reflex patterns in order to awaken natural, genetic motor resources, self-regenerating strength of motor memory and sensory-motor coherence. This achievement innately carries the implication of the fulfillment of all potentials within movement abilities and learning skills.

The Mission of the Svetlana Masgutova Educational Institute® Neuro-sensory-motor Reflex Integration, LLC is to provide children and adults reliable knowledge and safe tools for the use of natural, genetic motor resources to facilitate successful neuro-sensory-motor development and joyful learning.

Course Overview:

Facial motor reflexes first appear in infancy and remain active throughout life, supporting a broad range of needs essential to:

Human survival, including breathing, rooting, eating and general neurovascular function

Accessing and managing visual, auditory, and other sensory system input

Facial reflexes not only affect function in the facial area, they also affect function though out the whole brain-body system. The MNRI Facial Reflex Integration Program techniques work to activate and engage reflex actions, movements and patterns necessary for the maturation of more complex motor reflexes and the development of advanced communication and cognition. The engagement and maturation of facial reflexes can be impeded by congenital issues or traumatic events that occur in utero, at birth, or anytime after birth. Depending on the number of facial reflexes and related primary motor reflex patterns impacted, a broad array of associated life challenges can appear. MNRI Facial Reflex program techniques have been used with great success for children experiencing various delays in communication development.

MNRI Oral-Facial Reflex Integration course explores:

The general MNRI Method and the role played by the Facial Reflex Integration Program

Oral-facial reflexes and how they relate to primary motor reflex patterns and important body systems

The role oral-facial reflexes play in establishing a foundation for motor, communication and cognitive development, and emotional and behavioral regulation

Explain the maturational role of oral-facial reflexes within the primary motor reflex system and the impact of dysfunctional and pathological reflex patterns on daily life of children and adults with developmental and neurodeficits.

Describe the importance of oral-facial symmetry and the maturational progression of specific oral-facial reflex including the dynamics of each reflex pattern.

Explain the impact integration of each oral-facial reflex can have on protection and survival mechanisms including sucking, swallowing, breathing, rooting, fear paralysis, eating and general oral neuro-cranial-vascular function.

Explore how oral-facial reflexes provide protection and support for the brain functions and neurodevelopment, and for formation of higher skills.

Discuss how to implement MNRI assessment techniques to determine the level of development of a reflex patterns.

Apply hands-on-practice of the MNRI techniques designed to activate and integrate oral-facial reflexes to address oral-facial-cranial symmetry issues.

Discuss how to deal with unique and challenging client situations using MNRI method techniques in context of primary oral-motor activity and articulation skills training.

Apply the course information to create and apply an individual MNRI program for clients with various challenges.

Explore strategies to incorporate the use of the MNRI Oral-Facial Reflex Integration course content into daily client and home practice.
